Common Crane - psilos bird photography

Also known as the Eurasian Crane this species breeds in northern parts of Europe and western Asia. During the winter months it can be found in southern Spain and Africa. Like with many species it can been seen flying in large V formations. For several centuries this bird has been extict from the UK but recently a new population has been breeding again in the Norfolk Broads. With luck they can be seen feeding on open fields in the Horsey and Hickling areas. Its favoured breeding habitat can be found on large areas of marsh and bog. Its diet consists of insects, small birds and mammals.
